PLANS ARE ABOUT COMPLETED FOR MARKETING CROP ALBANY, Ga., Aug. 27—With the harvest season for peanuts almost at hand, and actually in progress in some sections of the belt, the Georgia Peanut Growers Co- operative Association has about completed plans for marketing this important crop. With more than 100,000 of the 142,- 000 acres of commercial Spanish pea nuts planted in Georgia this year un der contract to the new co-operative marketing organization, the associa tion will easily be the largest single factor in the world in the market for white Spanish peanuts. Due to the fact that the association has probably the bulk of the choice peanuts of the state under contract in its total of more than 100,000 acres, it is esti mated that fully 80 per cent of the state’s total output of white Spanish, which is the largest of any state’s, will pass through the co-operative association. At a banker’s . meeting held in Al bany Wednesday, attended by some of the foremost financial experts oi the state, arrangements were maue for all of the short-term credit re quirements of the Association. Longer term credits will be handled through the United States intermediate credit banks. While gathering season for the bulk of the state’s peanuts is not yet at hand, there are lorward peanuts in many sections that are ready for harvesting and are actually being harvested in many cases. Officers of the association this week again em phasized their warnings against dig ging peanuts too soon; against curing them in windrows, instead of shock curing them, and against threshing them instead of picking them with a regular peanut picker. “These warnings were not issued idly or for the sake of having something to say,” Colonel Robert E. L. Spence, president and General manager of the Peanut Association, declared. “They repre sent the manure judgment and care ful investigation of all the experts we have consulted, and rest on reliable human experience. If we expect our peanuts to bring higher prices than ordinary peanuts —and that is one of our expectation —we must use care in gathering and preparing them for the market as well as in growing them. Peanuts gathered too soon will certainly grade as inferior pea nuts, and I hope our members will realize this. Sun-sured peanuts will suffer in comparison shock cured ones and the man who delivers shock cured peanuts will receive his reward in better prices, just as will the man who picks his peanuts with a picking machine, instead of threshing them. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.” Preparations are now being made by the field service of the Peanut As sociation to see that there is a 100 per cent delivery of peanuts signed by members of the association. Prac tically no difficulty is xpected along this line, officers of the association stated. NEGRO CONFERENCE TO v MEET IN BLAKELY The Southwest Georgia Annual Conference of the African M. E.
